Yes I know, but I thought the expansion was a disc based release. 
 
I saw it listed on Gamestop and Best Buy for 69.99, but I guess it's going to be a $15 download, which is great.

This is a entire multiplayer expansion in an entirely different setting, not a hat.

That was actually a pretty decent trailer, I always liked the way DICE demonstrates the gameplay even if it NEVER plays that way.

I like this man. I totally forgot you could do that in BF: V... good times. I also really hope they include some maps with crazzzzyy fog in thick ass jungle/swamps like the first one.

By that reasoning, Episode 1 and 2 should be free. Get a grip.

@Ned_perfel it's not an "entire multiplayer expansion" it's 4 maps and just skinned weapons and soldiers.. modders do this in seriously a week... anyway they also promised "new maps" for the original BC2 and all we got was a bunch of rehashed maps with other game modes... sure it was free, but it was also shit.. 
and @Riddell, no. Half Life 2 = best game ever, it actually gives u a reason to buy it..

Looks like a serious bit of fun, I know I'm in the minority but I loved Battlefield Vietnam, and BC2 is an awesome game.

Somehow I imagine that, as a Canadian, I'll get screwed on the exchange again (despite parity with the American dollar). Twenty or so dollars is a bit steep for a visual makeover, I'll have to see more before I put money on this.

BC2 is an excellent game. You're depriving yourself. Plus it's only $30 now, on PC at least.

Oh hell yeah.  I'm definitely looking forward to this.  The fact that helos can be damaged by normal weapons fire will be nice.

I hear ya, and it's tempting at $30 but I need more out of today's shooters. Perfect Dark, Quake, UT3, TimeSplitters, they all had split-screen and bot support. Why in the world those features got dropped from the majority of today's shooters in favour for online is beyond me when they can include it all. I don't like the Halo series at all but admire it for allowing split-screen online support, and that's something I wish all shooters had so my wife and I can play together. I have bought all CoD games from the local pawn shop and pawn them back after playing them for a while, but I think Black Ops I will keep because they finally have added what I feel is essential for a shooter to have.
 
I just don't like having to rely on an online community  to be there so I can enjoy a feature of a game. If the internet goes down, if popularity for that game goes away from newer releases or if future Xbox's have backwards capability and I want to revisit this title like an old PS1/2 game, then all I have is single player because the rest relied on servers I can't control and human players I can't force to play with me. :(
 
It's the norm now, and I get that. Maybe I'm just getting old, but I hope other devs see Black Ops's "new" features as threats and start including the same thing.

Just double up on your gaming infrastructure. A 1080p monitor doesn't cost the world. Nor do 5.1 speakers or headphones.
 
Way better than split-screen. TWO SCREENS!

You're right, it sucks for those people. However, a good amount of people have access to a good enough connection because honestly, imo, split screen sucks and bots are boring.

"Best Game Ever" is subjective. The same could be said to someone who thinks BC2 is the best game ever. Your logic fails on every level. We don't live in a benevolent society where everything has to be given away for free. And 4 maps, "just skinned weapons and soldiers" would;  
A) Take modders more than a week 
B) DICE aren't modders, they're game developers with jobs and salaries 
Do you whine every time someone charges for DLC? I'd be interested to know your thoughts on L4D2 from the oh-so-generous Valve.

Actually it's not, it's a well known fact that Half Life 2 is the best game ever. And on another note L4D2 cost 15bucks and you got a game that was equal to l4d and on top of that u got free new maps aswell as a new "mutation" (gamemode) every god damned week.. so yeah i actually believe that 15bucks is worth getting something new every week...
 
btw go here www.fpsbanana.com and PLEASE tell me it takes those guys more than a week to skin weapons/models... please i beg of u... also i am fully aware that dice arent modders but that doesn't even make a diffrence, i mean they fucking GAVE away all the Batllefield 2 expansions with the latest patch (sure it was years after release, but its one year after release of bc2 so why couldn't that have been a free update aswell? Cuz i'm still waitin for that so called v.i.p. pass to give me something fucking usefull)

Not sure what's worse; the parody of Hendrix's music or the portrayal of the Vietnam war as a jolly good time to be had by all.

Hey for the price of a map pack in some games, I can get a complete expansion to Battlefield 2. 
 
I haven't played in a month or two, and I just got my surround sound back up and running.  What better time for more Battlefield?

Hmm, the whole thing stinks of "lazy as hell". Im surprised they get away with it. Its clearly a cheap ass skin job. All their "add ons" and "map packs" felt like a knife in the back.  Even those recent missions they released. Suck. Oh and by the way, this is coming from someone who thinks BFBC2 is near enough the best military online shooter of all time. They are WAY better than this - so give us what we expect of you. Am i gonna buy this DLC however? Probably still yes. Coz im a sucker, like all the rest of you...
